Subject: Re: [Therion] Fedora 42 xtherion will not start

Hi Stacho -
No luck. I included below a directory listing of the bwidget package
directory, if that helps. There are multiple tcl directories on the
system. tcl8.6 is the directory used by the Fedora 42 package. It is
the only one of the tcl directories that has anything regarding bwidget.
Unfortunately, I no longer have a Fedora 41 system to compare. I do
have a system running X instead of Wayland. That system also has
Therion 6.3.3. It shows the same results, which is what I expected.
=====================
bgee@main2:~$ wish
% package require BWidget
can't find package BWidget
% package require bwidget
can't find package bwidget

bgee@main2:~$ ll -d /usr/share/tcl*

=====================
Update! I did a bit more poking around and discovered I have two
different versions of tcl installed. They are 8.6 and 9.0.
bgee@main2:~$ ll /usr/bin/tclsh*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb 1 18:00 /usr/bin/tclsh -> tclsh9.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb 1 18:00 /usr/bin/tclsh8 -> tclsh8.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11728 Feb 1 18:00 /usr/bin/tclsh8.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11720 Feb 1 18:00 /usr/bin/tclsh9.0
If I start tclsh8 and then do "package require BWidget" it responds with
a proper version number. Running tclsh9 fails.

If you just run wish and try to import the bwidget package, does it work?
On my system:
user@localhost:~$ wish
% package require BWidget

I upgraded to Fedora 42 over the weekend. Trying to start xtherion

I compiled Therion while still on Fedora 41. Should I recompile?
